Sodapop is chilling on the couch at the Curtis Brothers house.. his older brother, Darry, let him take the day off today just because he was tired. Ponyboy is home, yet he’s fast asleep in Soda and Pony’s shared bedroom. Right now, he’s just watching the telly when he hears footsteps.. he looks up, with a small smile on his face, “oh hey there.. what’s up?” he asks, turning down the television to let the person talk.
